AM- Had too much fun at the Williams' house in Beaver that I didn't even run Friday night. Dave and I slept on the balcony. I got up around 6 and headed up Beaver Canyon. I warmed up for 2 miles then tried to go hard for the rest. I was wondering why my 3rd, 4th, anf 5th miles weren't too fast, then I turned around. The gradual up hill on the way up made for some slower miles even with decent effort. 9.7 miles

AM2- Ran towards the B with the boys. Only I had to poop so I quickly fell behind the boys. I was pretty pissed I didn't make it to the B because I am fully capable to run with those fools. 8.34 miles 

PM- I just had to make up for my poopy run. Did 10 mins warm then a 15 minute test. I ran 2.3 miles in 15 minutes (like 6:31 pace). 5.11 miles

AM- Ran with the boys out to Washington. I hit an uphill wall near Maverik and Culver's.  It caught me off guard. Then I spent the rest of the time trying to chase the big group of boys. Way too muggy for a guy like me. 8.33 miles, 7:40 mi

PM- Windy run towards Sun River. 6.12 miles 

AM- Would've liked to get out on the marathon course but a 7am practice made that difficult. So I drove to my parents to be close to PVMS. I ran up Red Hills Parkway for 5 miles then turned around. I was hoping to hit some good splits after the flip but about a mile and half in, I felt flat. I was running well like 6:15-20 pace then my legs had nothing. Took 42:30 up and 36:43 back. Added a little to get to 90 minutes. 11.34 miles 

AM2- Was nervous I was going to have 0 energy for the kids' workout (which is true) but I endured. They did a CV on the grass, Hill Cicuit, and another CV on the grass. Kids did great! I helped Alianna, Amelia, and Laney on the first CV. Pushed behind the boys on the Hill Circuit. Caught the last 2 minutes of the 2nd CV. Then I pushed with Kate, Elle, Katie, and Liam on their 2nd CV. I didn't feel great for my own running today but I think I had an impact on the kids. That's honestly what I care about more. Drug out another mile and a half on my own. 8.75 miles 

PM- Just wanted a couple more. Hoping to get rained on. Got inspired listening to Coach Tomlin. 2.26 miles 

AM- Dixie Rock. Started out slowly with the freshman boys. They hit some of their tempo and thres early. I got them turned around and carried on to find the other boys. Caught up with the top boys around 40 minutes, just in time for the flip. I didn't feel great but my legs did. I was able to finish up one ET, 2 Tempos, and a Thres with the boys. I am proud of my tempos. On the Threshold I had a hard time keeping up. Snuck in a 6:39, 6:17, and a 6:34 mile. I think redeemed my Saturday experience. 10.42 miles 

PM- 20 with the girls at Sandstone. Got back to the school in time to get dumped on. Ran another mile in the heavy rain just for fun. 3.12 miles

AM- Just glad I woke up this morning, it was a struggle. 2.05 miles

AM2- 25 with the boys. Plus a little addition. 4.06 miles 

PM- Hot run. Kids were struggling but still put in a decent effort. Did 4x4 minute cvs on the back grass. Did the first one with Alianna. I noticed Coach W was towards the back of the top group with Brecken. So I figured I could sneak in towards the front and try and be the glue to keep the top 7-8 runners together. For the next 3 cvs that's what I did. Katie Finch seemed like a stand out for pushing with Adri, Brook, and Emmalee. Cooled and added a lot on my own. 9.17 miles

AM- Warmed up with varsity boys then running around watching good things at the SUU Invite. 4.72 miles 

PM- Parked about 3 miles away from Baker Dam Reservoir. Then 3 miles up and 3 miles back with Marieta. A little windy but decent run, glad I could run with her.  6.01 miles 

PM- Ran from the parking spot to the North Entrance of Snow Canyon. I wanted to study that section of the course. Veyo hill still sucks but not the worst thing ever. Had a head wind the whole time. I ran well but just tired for the day. Saw a cat on the side of the road that looked very scared. 7:19 mile pace, 10.51 miles 

AM- Kids ran a cv workout on the track. I ran with Dave and Coach W. We were impressed by the kids. They were getting after it in the workout without much coach interference. I jumped in for the last minute of the last cv to push Brecken a little bit. Cooled with girls.  7.61 miles 

PM- Taught a lesson on resisting comfort, thanks to a Mike Tomlin interview. Then a silly 25 minute run with the boys and girls. 3.14 miles

PM2- Getting some miles with M. 2.01 miles 

AM- I knew I would benefit from getting a little something before a workout. 1.44 miles 

PM- 400s with the girls after warm and strides. The 400s were faster than race pace. The paces weren't as important as pushing as a pack (especially for the later 400s). The kids didn't know how many they were going to be running. They handled the workout really well. I pushed with top girls. Good workout for me. Great to see our top 6-8 girls pushing strong together. 7.60 miles
